P.7INTRODUCTIONCiel Annual Report 2012

A year ago, the new CIEL alliance was in place and ready for its mission: to create an international light-house for knowledge-based innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) founded on intensive collaboration between the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Copen-hagen Business School (CBS).

The CIEL alliance demonstrates a new model for collaboration combining the perspectives of each of the three universities to produce unique solutions with substantial societal impacts. In particular, this is rel-evant in I&E-educations in which CIEL works across educational disciplines with industrial partners to find solutions to complex problems. This cross-disciplinary approach is highly motivating for both stu-dents and researchers and produces new and often surprising solutions for industry and society at large.

In this first annual report, you can read more about our experiences so far. CIEL has established nine pro-grammes, applying a wide range of means to leverage I&E among the target groups. The first section of the report covers our educational programmes; the second shows how we support the student entrepre-neurship eco-system; and, finally, we give examples of our contributions to research in the field of I&E.

During 2012, CIEL has proven an efficient model for creating high-level projects that are embedded across departments. These novel initiatives have already attracted significant international interest, including a nomination as one of the most innovative projects of its kind in the European Union.

We see enhanced perspectives for reinforced collaboration in the future. In particular, we hope that the collaboration between our three universities will become a major inspiration for a deeper and wider co-operation between academic institutions and private and public organisations in our region. Together, we can build a landmark for science in the Copenhagen Region.

To the teachers, researchers, administrative staff and the CIEL team, who have made extra efforts to sup-port all the projects initiated, we extend our sincere thanks. Also, we would like to express our gratitude to our CIEL co-funders, the European Social Fund, the Capital Region of Denmark and the Danish Business Authority.

We look forward to strengthening our collaboration in the future.

Thomas Bjørnholm Henrik Wegener Per Holten-Andersen Prorector (UCPH) Provost (DTU) President (CBS)

By CIEL Director Mikkel Trym

Finally – on 20 December 2012, the Dan-ish Minister for Science, Innovation and Higher Education, Morten Østergaard, launches the new national innovation strategy, Denmark – Land of Solutions, in which “innovative solutions to great societal challenges are translated into growth and employment”. The minis-ter is not alone on the stage; he presents the strategy with five other government ministers – indicating the complexity and interconnectedness of this field. What is most exciting about innova-tion is that it often begins with a prob-lem. The bigger the problem, the more significant the innovation should be. The focus of the new innovation strate-gy is on solving societal and global chal-lenges on a large-scale. Seeking solu-tions for the world’s biggest problems requires new partnerships between ac-ademia, business, the public sector and other stakeholders. This is neither a new notion nor common practice in our uni-versities today. The questions are:

How can innovation in our universities fo-cus resources from a variety of disciplines on the challenges we face and, in so do-ing, create new knowledge and economic growth?

How can we integrate entrepreneurial com-petences into our educational programmes as an adequate response to a world of great-er uncertainty and complexity?

ENGAGE, EMPOWER, ENABLE

In the fall of 2011, we founded the Copen-hagen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lab (CIEL), a trust-based partnership and alliance between UCPH, CBS and DTU, to develop new, collaborative innovation and entrepreneurship programmes for the benefit of students, research and in-dustry. By and large, what the CIEL col-laboration is concentrating on is what the new national innovation strategy is trying to achieve by increasing the innovation capacity in students and faculty. The main focus is on engaging, empowering and, thereby, enabling our students ‘to take action’ based in their academic knowledge. Entrepreneurial education is heavily weighted on know-how, know-who and the personal know-why – not just know-about, as is often the case in university education.

BUILDING A COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM

Over the past 12 months, nine cross-uni-versity programmes have been devel-oped, resulting in 90 specific projects being implemented in collaboration with more than 200 faculty partners. All nine programmes are novel, create new knowledge and raise standards. The pro-grammes are founded on the concept of creating local/departmental ownership and embedding activities. At the same time, the programmes create wider

HOW TO CULTIVATEENTREPRENEURIALUNIVERSITIES

networks and collaboration among dif-ferent professional disciplines, engages in partnerships with businesses, and search for international best practice.

CIEL is a collaboration and implementation platform of nine cross-university programmes within education, research and co-curricular activities.

Common to all CIEL activities is that they involve:

INTEGRATION of innovation and entrepreneurship skills within various disciplines and across departments. This is a very effective organisa-tional model for reaching, embedding and developing entrepreneurial mindsets and competences across universi-ties. Rather than developing a strong ‘centre’, the focus is on developing a network of en-trepreneurial change agents across universities. It enables ‘champions’ to play the role of change agents in faculties and departments. It raises the standards, and it speeds up the process of change. —

An INTERDISCIPLINARY ap-proach that enables CIEL to work with ‘wicked problems’ such as the themes of the En-trepreneurship Excellence Programmes (EEP), which deal with environmental sustain-ability in urban areas, digital services in healthcare and issues related to innovation in the food industry. These problems rarely have clear-cut solutions that can be identified by a single disci-pline; they are complex and ambiguous. Thus, they serve as a great learning tool for students, who must work to-gether to find solutions to the same problem from different perspectives. —

INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA COLLAB-ORATION. Partnership with business, both private and public enterprises, provides a strong vehicle for integrating real-world problems into university education and re-search. Business engagement in combination with teach-ing provides new knowledge and new practical perspec-tives for finding, testing and evaluating solutions to ‘wick-ed problems’. A stronger col-laboration with business is one of the most effective drivers of change towards a more entrepreneurial university. —

INTERNATIONALISATION, a core element in the development of best practices. It is import-ant for all CIEL activities to include an international, in-tercultural, or global dimen-sion in the purpose, function or implementation of educa-tion. This process includes ensuring that the universities internalise findings from in-ternational experiences, that staff adapts to new cultures of learning and pedagogy, and that students and staff are able to understand their own cul-ture in a global context. Furthermore, in conjunc-tion with the innovation strateg y, Danish business and academia must be pre-pared for global develop-ments, which is central to the demand for new solutions. —

WANTED: ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS

Employers from a range of private and public enterprises are now actively ar-ticulating the need to develop entre-preneurial skills in all students – rather than just equipping a limited number of graduates for self-employment. Sie-mens, which sells more than 700,000 different products, estimates that 80 per cent of these products will not exist on the market in five years’ time. Accord-ing to Jukka Pertola, CEO at Siemens Denmark, that is why entrepreneuri-al skills are relevant for all employees, because they enable companies and in-stitutions to compete in the globalised knowledge society (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2011/references p. 58). This is also congruent with the public rhetoric of the innovation strategy, which goes beyond industry demands towards ar-ticulating the need to equip students at all levels in the educational system with personal entrepreneurial capaci-ties to deal with greater levels of uncer-tainty and complexity – both at work and in their personal life.

STUDENTS LEADING THE WAY

Improving the education of students and their entrepreneurship support system is an important task in the CIEL collaboration. Students are the prima-ry target and, perhaps, even the most important impetus for change. During the past few years, we have witnessed a crucial development of student-run ini-tiatives, such as Gate to Create, Stardust, Createch, DANSIC, Suitable for Busi-ness, Doc:innovate and others. These student-run organisations are to play a very important role as a proactive im-petus for making our universities more entrepreneurial.

ACTION

We agree with the Danish Minister for Science, Innovation and Higher Educa-tion that there is an urgency for culti-vating the entrepreneurial mindset and skills in students and staff. Enhancing cross-disciplinary, academia/industry and international collaborations will be

an important catalyst. In this context, the CIEL collaboration has proven very effective. More information about the various CIEL programmes can be found in this publication. Like the Minister, we are standing together to create a sound entrepreneurial culture at our universi-ties. Finally, we must all remember that entrepreneurial change is achieved by action, not by strategy statements. CIEL is strong proof of that. We are looking forward to seeing how the Minister will operationalise the innovation strategy into concrete, ambitious actions along the lines we have already initiated through our CIEL collaboration. There is no doubt that the CIEL programmes provide a series of novel, hands-on ap-proaches to boosting innovative and entrepreneurial behaviour among stu-dents and staff at our universities and, thereby, also a practical take on imple-menting the national strategy in prac-tice. —

Education is the core of CIEL and where most of our activities are cen-tred. In the following pages, you can read about our educational projects and meet some of the teachers who are developing new courses in inno-vation and entrepreneurship (I&E) as well as teachers who teach other teachers in I&E. Finally, you can learn more about our flagship project – the Entrepreneurship Excellence Programmes, which are cross-disci-plinary education programmes with a thematic focus and strong links to the industry.

Our methodWe work by integrating I&E into and across universities, focusing on in-terdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships between industry and academia. The interdisciplinary approach teaches students to work with others with different backgrounds and knowledge. Focusing on real-life chal-lenges provided by industry partners enables students to apply their academic knowledge to a practical problem and learn to use their aca-demic competencies in a professional context.

PROGRAMMES

Entrepreneurship Excellence Programmes (EEP) Three cross-university education programmes with a thematic

focus and real-life cases provided by industry partners.

Course Development Development of new and existing courses in innovation and

entrepreneurship for UCPH, DTU and CBS.

Innovation Pedagogics An innovation module for a teach-the-trainer course in innovation.

Network A series of projects that support a strong network among our

faculty partners and build new alliances with CIEL’s regional, national and international stakeholders.

EDUCATION

“We would like our cities to be more beautiful, greener, more sustainable and that’s our future – to actually build a better urban environment.”

Ala Kazlova

Marketing & Intellectual Property Management, InnoVentum.

P.16 EDUCATION Ciel Annual Report 2012

Today, more than half of the world’s pop-ulation lives in cities. By 2030, around five billion people will live in an urban setting. The challenge in the next few decades will be to learn how to exploit the possibilities urbanisation offers. The future of urban dwellers depends on it. Therefore, cities need to become sus-tainable and provide good living condi-tions for their inhabitants. Nudging cit-ies in a more sustainable direction is not an easy task, however, as it is costly to change existing structures. To address these challenges, a collaboration across

disciplines must be established. For ex-ample, we need mechanical engineers for wind, solar energy and for design is-sues. We depend on specialists with knowledge about organisms and natural resources for water, waste and biologi-cal material. Finally, we must include economists to address the business in-centives and many kinds of expertise that are sensitive to the organisational, societal and cultural facets, which also shape the future of urban environments. The Green Innovation in Cities EEP is an educational initiative aimed at

increasing the innovation and entre-preneurship content of teaching activi-ties. It consists of three courses – Urban Greening, Urban Flows, Green Energy – and a summer school session on Clean-Tech. Green Innovation in Cities focuses on what is relevant to teach the young people today about the society at large. The focus is not on what should be taught – but, rather, what must be taught.—

GREEN INNOVATIONIN CITIES

P.17EDUCATIONCiel Annual Report 2012

P.18 Ciel Annual Report 2012EDUCATION

Claus Juhl, who is CEO in the Municipal-ity of Copenhagen, tells us how the city is promoting green innovation. “Our greatest asset is quality of life. Major in-ternational magazines continue to place Copenhagen in the top three of best cit-ies to live in. Among other things, this is because Copenhagen is a relatively green city. Our citizens can swim in the harbour, drink water from the tap, and get around easily on bikes.” However, Claus Juhl points out that we cannot live off the quality of life. What we can live off is exactly what Beijing can teach Copenhagen.

BEAUTIFUL COPENHAGENGETTINGPOORER?World-class quality of life can be found in Copenhagen, but growth rates are mediocre. The city is looking to the East where Beijing as Copenhagen’s friendship city might help spark growth. In return, Copenhagen can provide ideas to increase the quality of life in Beijing.

“Copenhagen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lab is an interesting initiative, and I am very happy that you are successfully collaborating with Beijing about the Green Innovation in Cities programme”

Frank Jensen

Mayor of Copenhagen

COLLABORATION WITH TWO CITIES

The EEP Green Innovation in Cities collaborates closely with the City of Copenhagen. The city’s strategic focus on and friendship agreement with the City of Beijing inspired the EEP to make the Beijing-Copenhagen Urban Challenge (BCUC) exchange programme.

Each year, the Urban Challenge will take place in a different city, starting with Beijing in 2013.

LOOKING EAST

Claus Juhl explains that Copenhagen does not usually team up with cities in friendship alliances. However, this changed two years ago, when Copenha-gen and Beijing teamed up in a friendship city agreement. The reason was twofold, Claus Juhl explains: “It’s both about the exchange of knowledge and ideas and the sale of Danish technology. When the Chinese delegation was shown the harbour and told that they can swim in it, they were stunned. So, we told them that, 10 years ago, our harbour was quite polluted. But we changed the situation through a political decision that includ-ed spending money, planning and in-dustry involvement. This specific story points at a successful politically led pro-cess, but I believe that Beijing can teach us how companies initiate major change processes.”

Apart from procedures and technology, Claus Juhl says that culture and mindset also play a role in the transition to green-er cities: “The Chinese consider cars as must-haves for relatively wealthy citi-zens. When they visited Copenhagen, they thought it was odd that so many people rode bikes, because they’ve heard that it’s a wealthy city. However, people don’t bike because they are poor, but because it’s easy”.

REDEFINING GROWTH

“I think it’s important that we ask our-selves where growth ought to occur. Private consumption – say, in the form of new kitchens and cars – is not neces-sarily what we need. Instead, we could invest in Copenhagen to solve real prob-lems. For example, we could invest in an even greener and healthier city or focus on a part of the city that needs improve-ment, as we do in northwest Copenha-gen. It’s really about getting the city up and running. This might not sound very appealing to the industry, but it’s a step

back in the value chain, and it is ok if businesses earn money in the process.” In a Region that contains 4 million inhabitants and 13 universities with 170,000 students, Claus Juhl believes that there is a basis for growth – it is just a matter of telling the world about the

potential. Finally, Copenhagen must get better at welcoming international, spe-cialised employees – perhaps, even stu-dents who visit Copenhagen in the au-tumn of 2013 as a part of their course the Copenhagen Beijing Urban Challenge.—

“Innovation teams should include people with a disposition to generate a stream of novel ideas; people with a disposition to

spin ideas together into concepts; people with a disposition to turn concepts into concrete

requirements and practical plans; and last but not least, people with a disposition to

implement plans into desirable outcome.”Michel Avital

Professor, CBS


The healthcare system is feeling pres-sure from an ageing population, with a continuous growth in chronic condi-tions and less time in which to deal with them. Hospitals are already grappling with these challenges by rethinking treatment. Instead of the classic proce-dure: problem – diagnosis – treatment, care becomes networked. In leaving be-hind a linear healthcare process, it is im-portant to maintain control of the var-ious components of treatment, as they can intertwine and merge. But how do we maintain an overview of who does

what, when and how? What tools can we develop to manage healthcare? And how can we work with innovation and cross-disciplinary approaches? Digital technologies are fundamental for the development of future healthcare ser-vices, but we need to design better digi-tal tools to enhance these services. The Digital Services in Healthcare EEP seeks to approach this challenge from a service design perspective. It is an entrepreneurial programme that provides students with the theoretical framework and practical skills to allow

them to develop innovative digital ser-vices. Students are taught to prototype healthcare services better through in-tensive collaboration with users, pro-ject partners from the industry and, in particular, prospective design practi-tioners with other professional founda-tions. The course involves perspectives from design research, innovation theo-ry, computer science, entrepreneurship, business modelling and engineering.—

To begin, we ask Michel Avital to ex-plain in what ways the EEP is new: “CIEL’s EEP Digital Services in Health-care aims to develop a multidisciplinary course that focuses on practical innova-tion, a hands-on approach, and engaged scholarship. Although there have been other attempts to develop similar cours-es, the EEP is the only one that takes ad-vantage of the breadth of expertise and resources that are available within three Danish key universities: CBS, DTU, and UCPH. As a result, in addition to the ex-tensive academic infrastructure provid-ed by the three universities, students in the EEP courses can also benefit from an exposure to the rich portfolio of the-ories and practices that stem from the disciplines of science, engineering, and business.”

HEADING FORDIGITAL HEALTHCAREExtensive thinking, discussion and collaboration have paved the way for the materialisation of the EEP Digital Services in Healthcare as a master’s-level course this spring. Professor Michel Avital, who is a member of the steering committee, tells us about an innovative process on a whole new scale.

ACADEMIC MUSCLES

Thanks to the collaboration with col-leagues from other universities, Michel Avital tells us, the steering committee is able to build bridges across institutional boundaries: “We get to know better the intricacies of our peer academic institu-tions and develop a mutual appreciation of the strengths and value of each. We meet and communicate regularly and make an effort to capitalise on our col-lective capabilities. As a result, we have developed an extensive top-notch cur-riculum for a course that combines both cutting-edge theory and strong ties to practice.” When it comes to challenges in set-ting up the EEP, Michel Avital stresses that they are, first and foremost, bureau-cratic: “Overall, we spend about 80% of our time in overcoming red-tape hurdles and 20% of our time on curriculum de-velopment.”

RESULTS OF COLLABORATION

Looking ahead, Michel Avital sees the collaboration as a real game changer: “Al-though the course will be a singular ac-ademic gem, the truly radical contribu-tion of the EEP is in the institutional, not the academic, domain. The EEP can po-tentially pave the way for inter-universi-ty collaboration, at least in the teaching arena. Developing and strengthening the ties between universities through joint teaching and curricula is likely to generate value through economies of scale and economies of scope.” —

TEACHING DIGITAL SERVICES IN HEALTHCARE

WhoStudents from DTU, CBS and UCPH are invited to sign up for courses in the Digital Services in Healthcare programme. Lecturers from the three universities will teach from a service design perspective.

ContentStudent projects form the practical backbone of the courses, which enable students to learn from and engage with innovation theory, design research, computer science, entrepre-neurship, and business modelling.

OrganisationThe working method is collaboration through cross-disciplinary teams on real-world pro-jects. Healthcare professionals and industy partners will help by ensuring that the projects are relevant and have business potential.

Food Entrepreneurs Summer School 2012


EDUCATIONCiel Annual Report 2012 P.25

The EU food and beverage industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Eu-rope. It affects the health and quality of life of every European citizen. It has im-pacts on the environment and the econ-omy. In the race to be part of this sector, the food industry in Denmark faces in-creasing competition from other mar-kets, including the BRIC countries. For that reason, it is crucial to approach the market in a new way. Recognising and targeting societal challenges – such as health, food safety, climate change and sustainability by examining the entire

food value chain – will lead the way for the Danish food industry and enhance its global competitiveness. The Food Entrepreneurs EEP focus-es on the application of entrepreneuri-al and innovative thinking to the food value chain. The goal is to prepare stu-dents to become entrepreneurs and/or to engage in innovative practices as they enter the business world. This edu-cational focus on innovation and entre-preneurship in the food industry was implemented during a summer school in 2012 with ‘beer brewing’ as a common

platform. A second summer school ses-sion will be held in 2013 with a different theme – for example, ingredients, fish, meat, dairy products and/or gastron-omy. In addition to the two summer school sessions, several entrepreneur-ship courses dealing with challenges faced by the food industry are being de-veloped. The Food Entrepreneurs EEP marks the first step towards a major EU project called FoodKIC in 2014.—

HOW DOES THE EEP CREATE A LEARNING PROCESS?

Bjarke Bak Christensen from Food Sci-ence, UCPH, explains: “First of all, I be-lieve that the EEP makes learning as such much more interesting – I think the stu-dents become more interested in study-ing. The didactics of the programme are extremely interesting, because we can both strengthen the core skills of the student and provide extra learning.

Second, collaboration with companies that provide cases gets the students ready for reality. We are called Food Entrepre-neurs, but the programme is also about innovation, how to do things in new ways, and how to create new products.”

Lars Bogø Jensen, from DTU Food, stress-es that the EEP bridges academic core skills and usage with such elements as production and marketing: “It increas-es mutual understanding, especially when students work together in inter-disciplinary groups”. Lars Bogø Jensen has also experienced a learning process among his colleagues: “We have estab-lished fora within the institute to dis-cuss entrepreneurship and how we act as teachers. Together with input from in-SPIRe, it has created a discussion on the relationship between academic skills and skills required by industry.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED AS MEMBERS OF THE STEERING GROUP?

In Lars Bogø Jensen’s opinion, the fact that the steering committee members come from different universities has been crucial in creating a feeling of own-ership, collaboration, and mutual under-standing. Bjarke Bak Christensen thinks that discussion has been a predominant component of the group’s work: “We have talked a lot about what kinds of courses we want, what the concept is. In this context, it has been interesting to hear how Dorte Wiene perceives the EEP because she has a different perspective

FOODFOR THOUGHTFood and drink constitute the common ground for teaching students in the EEP Food Entrepreneurs. The steering committee tells us about the processes, perspectives and problems of the EEP.

“The EEP inspires a debate about what skills graduates need to have. Moreover, it puts entre-preneurship on the agenda and makes the teaching staff aware that they need to form their own opinions about this.”

on what food is – and on innovation and entrepreneurship as such. “ As an industry partner, Jakob Nei-mann tells us about the inSPIRe cases studied by the students in the courses: “The framework for this collaboration is – among other things – tapping into a project portfolio provided by inSPIRe, which contains real innovation cases. In this way, we are in the process of estab-lishing a case platform for entrepreneur-ial thinking and engagement – among students, researchers, knowledge pro-fessionals, and enterprises. The obvious benefit and synergy for all these stake-holders is a part of the beauty in this col-laboration.”

WHAT HAS BEEN MOST SURPRISING?

“I must say that I did not expect that it would be so hard to manage the practi-calities. Coordinating courses across uni-versities is difficult because we have dif-ferent structures and economies, which has sometimes challenged our mutual understanding”, Bjarke Bak Christiansen explains.


“By collaborating with the Food EEP, we are strengthening our plat-form for approaching and developing an entrepre-neurial focus – not only for students but also for established researchers and teachers.”

Jakob Neimann Industry Partner from inSPIRe

“I strongly believe that the Food EEP will contri bute to building a platform to incorporate innovation and entrepreneurship as an integrated part of our educational food programmes in the future.”

Dorte Wiene

EEP Development Consultant

WHAT IS THE EEP PERSPECTIVE?

Bjarke Bak Christiansen: “The way we teach is a bit like play – fun and driven by interest and a need to explore. That meth-od could definitely expand! Because the cases represent reality, teaching becomes relevant and learning becomes innova-tive. For example, the students have de-veloped new concepts for meals for el-derly people, who are often undernour-ished. How do we create nutritious food that the elderly would actually want to eat? A purely academic approach might be to come up with a healthy recipe, for example, with protein and a taste the

elderly would like. Then, a famous chef would cook it up perfectly. However, that is not how the real world works be-cause it would be too expensive. Furthermore, there are logistics, staff, and much more that play a role – the field is complex. I believe that, by incorporating challenges that reflect re-ality into the teaching, students become much more qualified problem-solvers.”

HOW DOES THIS EEP RELATE TO FOODKIC?

(FoodKIC is a European research grant programme starting in 2014, ed.). Lars Bogø Jensen: “We are establishing a good basis for collaboration, which is needed

for this major project. It is fundamental for our application next year. Instead of waiting for the start of the FoodKIC proj-ect to create a mindset among the teach-ers, we have already achieved this.” Bjarke Bak Christensen points out that the triangle between teaching, re-search, and industry is especially rele-vant for FoodKIC. —

TEACHING INNOVATIONIN POLITICAL SCIENCEAs a response to the intertwined and socio-political nature of 21st-century challenges and opportunities, the Department of Political Science, UCPH, is currently developing new didactic methods to strengthen innovative competencies among its students.

Karen Lund Petersen, Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, UCPH


CIEL’s partner universities are educating a new generation of leaders and compe-tent caretakers who will someday gov-ern our societies, help build our com-munities, and create a world in which human opportunity f lourishes. Since it is evident that we must educate stu-dents to take on a broad range of jobs, it may be trickier to answer the question of ‘how’. How should new graduates take on the challenges that face contem-porary and future businesses, govern-ments, and civil organisations?

CONFRONTING TOMORROW

A steering committee is currently work-ing to develop new answers to ‘how’ graduates of the department can meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. With respect to how to implement innovative thinking and a more prac-tice-oriented approach to teaching polit-ical science, Karen Lund Petersen says: “It is a question of us, the educators, know-ing what skills our students are expect-ed to have in a contemporary, globalised world – and the world has changed in ways we need to take into consideration when teaching our students”. The new approach will be developed and implemented by the department in collaboration with CIEL throughout 2013 and onwards. The aim is to provide stu-dents with the tools for understanding, governing and changing complex organ-isations and thereby meet the growing demand for graduates who can make in-formed decisions and leverage the oppor-tunities that arise in today’s world.

CONCEPT, PILOT AND IMPLEMENTATION

Karen Lund Petersen and her colleagues now need to solve three key problems to develop and provide a foundation for the new programme:

1) To develop a sophisticated and em-pirically-grounded understanding of the concept of innovation and imple-ment it with respect to political sci-ence.

2) To develop a pilot project that in-cludes at least two different concepts

of innovation to be applied to teach-ing and learning processes.

3) To develop two courses that imple-ment an innovation-oriented ap-proach to teaching in the Depart-ment of Political Science.

Karen Lund Petersen explains: “The challenge for this project will be to de-velop a concept of innovation that is tailored to political science – a concept that not only promotes innovative in-dividual solutions and management but also takes into account the general needs of society. At least two forms of active learning will be tested in this pro-ject: a more traditional, cased-based and solution-oriented approach and a mod-el that seeks to challenge the student's established theoretical understanding of practice and encourage innovation through critical dialogue.” To be clear, Karen Lund Petersen ex-plains that an ‘idea group’ consisting of researchers, professionals with didac-tic expertise, and social entrepreneurs is still developing didactic methods to strengthen innovative competencies among tomorrow’s policy-makers. Ultimately, the Department of Politi-cal Science and CIEL are developing this approach not only to respond to existing demands but to ensure that the educa-tion takes into account the ambiguous role innovation plays in contemporary governance and policy-making.—

“This initiative is our way of saying to our students and the organisations that will employ them that the world has changed, and it demands a different approach, whether we like it or not.”

Karen Lund Petersen Associate Professor


A LABORATORYFOR CHANGEAt DTU, Associate Professor Anja Maier is developing a course that trains the ‘mental agility’ of students who are to work in a constantly changing world.

It all started at CIEL’s ERA Kick-off Work-shop; besides teaming up with other researchers on an ERA (Entrepreneur-ship Research Accelerator), Anja Maier learned that CIEL supports university teachers who want to develop courses in an innovative direction. This led to the idea of writing up a new teaching case about the current changes that are taking place in the way the product de-velopment process is organised at Oti-con A/S.

TEACHING CHANGE AND INNOVATION

For a start, we asked Anja Maier how organisation and technology can be mixed in an innovative way: “Basical-ly, the whole idea is to enable and sus-tain innovation by experimenting with how to cope with both emerging and planned changes. Hopefully, students who complete the course will have ac-quired mental agility in switching back and forth between different aspects. Collaborating partners get new ideas from the course, and students also get instantaneous feedback from their

“Most changes are ill-defined; you don’t know exactly what the solution is. To handle this and navigate the space of uncertainty is something that the students will learn.”

Anja Maier

peers and the companies we are work-ing with. That’s what I call a ‘laboratory for change’. Furthermore, I try to focus on the interaction between engineering and organisational change management and how that contributes to innovation. Looking into both engineering and or-ganisational changes and how you can handle the two processes is in itself in-novative.” Anja Maier also believes that change exists in a network: “You don’t just look at a change locally in a department or company; you see it across the value

chain as well. This ‘networked innova-tion’ is not yet sufficiently pronounced in current teaching material.”

COLLABORATING WITH COMPANIES

According to Anja Maier, innovation is not an empty buzzword anymore: “There is no doubt that companies need to work seriously with innovation in or-der to stay competitive. In a university context, it is innovative to use current cases provided by industry partners. It’s

also great to see how students are mo-tivated by these actual cases, by some-thing that is real and is happening right now.” In the ‘Management of Change course, cases come from industry, gov-ernmental institutions, and charitable organisations. The cases provide practi-cal examples from which students may begin to identify the need for change by diagnosing the situation. Then, they move on to plan the implementation, re-view and maintenance of the change for the future situation. However, the case is ready and wait-ing once Oticon gives the clearance. Anja Maier explains that, as a result of support from CIEL, she and her students will collaborate with Oticon A/S (a lead-ing Danish hearing aid manufacturer), which has provided an interesting case. Anja Maier stresses that the employees from Oticon have been cooperative and opened up to students. She also values the fact that the case is quite Danish but with a very international angle, be-cause Oticon’s product solutions are sold across the globe. When asked about the process and collaboration with CIEL, Anja Maier an-swers, “Everyone is so driven – both in the CIEL network and also the compa-nies I’ve been working with. That gives me a lot of knowledge and energy to con-tinue.”—

TEACHING TEACHERS INNOVATION

“It is exciting and challenging to develop a course aimed at teachers who are already com-petent and experienced. I am really looking forward to work-ing with a group like that.”

Camilla Ø. Rump

UCPH

There is no doubt that innovation is the new black. Everybody talks about it, everyone does it – or do they? The programme Innovation Pedagogics leaves airy buzzwords behind and gets on with the real change: teaching teachers to teach innovation in existing courses.

Camilla Østerberg Rump from UCPH and Pernille Hammar Andersson from DTU are establishing, developing and implementing a new course for faculty staff. We have asked them why and how. For a start, Camilla Ø. Rump pins down what the course is about: “First of all, Innovation Pedagogics is a really interesting and important project with great perspectives. Basically, it deals with how we instil the skills needed for university teachers and students to take advantage of opportunities to develop their innovation competence.”

TURNING TEACHING AROUND

Per n i l le H. A ndersson elaborates: “Everything starts in the lecture halls and in the classroom: teaching meth-ods, assessment questions , and aims for learning outcomes help shape students’ skills and knowledge and the way they perceive themselves. By using the prop-er methods in teaching, we can increase students’ innovative and entrepreneur-ial skills in many areas. This is an ex-citing development, and it raises many questions about how and what to teach and which methods to use.”

“For example, the methods may include complex real-life problems such as in-dustry cases, role-play with industry partners, and design in a real-life setting. Additionally, it can also focus on the problem-solving process. These meth-ods train the students to be self-confi-dent, critical and self-directed, and they strengthen the learning of disciplinary knowledge, a win-win situation for in-novative competences!”

A TRIPLE LEARNING PROCESS

In a way, working with the Innovation Pedagogics course has been a course in itself. Camilla Ø. Rump explains: “De-signing and developing the course is an innovation process in itself, and we have engaged in the same kind of teach-ing and learning processes we want the course participants to go through– and, in turn, want the students to engage in as a central part of their education.” Innovation Pedagogics is scheduled to start in April 2013.—

“We have to keep asking ourselves ‘how can we teach and prepare our students for the reality they will soon meet as professionals?”

NETWORK ACTIVITIES

CIEL NETWORK GET-TOGETHERS

With more than 90 projects and roughly 240 faculty partners, students and other associates across the three universities, we accumulate large amounts of knowl-edge. In order to make use of this knowl-edge, we regularly host workshops and seminars for everyone involved in CIEL projects. In this forum, we invite one of our faculty partners to present a specific method or challenge and set the stage for dialogue and learning across the individ-ual projects.

PHD NETWORK

The PhD network is an ambitious pro-gramme for PhDs in innovation and entrepreneurship at UCPH, DTU and CBS. The purpose of the network is to strengthen the field internally by facil-itating knowledge-sharing and creating a strong peer community. Furthermore, the aim is to strengthen the ability of network members to navigate towards industry and future employers by pro-viding training, tools and access.—

Collaboration is a key element in the CIEL alliance. It is our main objective, and this is why we work strategically to build and reinforce strong networks between our regional, national and international partners and stakeholders.

Our co-curricular activities cover everything that goes on outside the classroom. The term ‘co-curricular’ refers to the fact that these activities complement and promote our educational activities. Furthermore, they provide a platform for student involvement. Student involvement is crucial for CIEL. We see students as a driving force to create long-lasting cultural change in university environments, and these bottom-up activities are a great way to create a broader reach and early awareness for students.

“Uni is almost over. Final thesis in pro-gress. But, hey, it seems like there’s a buzz about us students starting up our own companies. And, apparently, there’s a bunch of people ready to help. Maybe, I should go for it? Hmm… guess it’s too late now.” This is a classic situation: The major-ity of students are on the verge of grad-uating before they realise that they can do something else with their skills and knowledge, something other than aim-ing for a salaried job, which is often hard to get in the midst of a financial crisis. At this point, many students also realise that there is a lot of help at hand if they want to start their own businesses (see The Student’s Guide to Entrepreneurship). The big question is how to get stu-dents in their first year of university to start considering themselves as entre-preneurs, so that they have enough time to work on ideas, networks and business plans.

WHY GAMING?

Startup Spirits might just be the answer. It ’s an online edutainment computer game for students at UCPH, DTU and CBS. The visuals, sounds, features and struc-ture are assembled as in ‘normal’ com-puter games, but in Startup Spirits the student must use an entrepreneurial mindset to score high. Obviously, play-ing the game does not lead directly to the creation of a startup. It is all about the mindset – planting the thought and letting it grow – in a fun and engaging way.

To create awareness about entrepreneurship at universities through a computer game is completely unconventional and – we believe – a great way of reaching the majority of students.

… is one of the missing links between tech-nological inventions and startups. Monika Luniewska, an innovation agent at DTU Fotonik, has already organised many projects and events within the programme.

Entering into the world of finance is a whole new game for most researchers who want to turn their shiny invention into a product ready to be sold. One of the usual first steps is to find seed mon-ey from investors. In the Term Sheet Battle, participants train their ability to negotiate – to agree on the right amount of seed money and intellectual property rights (IPR). The battle took the form of a role-play starring ‘The Investor’ and ‘The Entrepre-neur’. A large audience of students from all three universities and others in the

STARTUP WEEKENDStartup Weekend is an international boot camp that inspires entrepreneurship. So far, 587 Startup Weekends have been organ ised in 93 countries. However, only one has focused on research, high-tech concepts, patents and prototypes – namely the Copenhagen Startup Weekend Academia.

On 15-17 June 2012, Science DTU hosted the Copenhagen Startup Weekend Aca-demia. Students specialising in technol-ogy, business and design took part and learned what a technology startup can be.

TICK-TOCK…

The event centred around a pitch com-petition in which participating students had 54 hours to form a team, build a busi-ness case, and pitch it in front of a jury. In the end, three winning teams were selected in the categories of ‘Best Start-up’, ‘Most Innovative’ and ‘Best Demo’. Venture capitalists, patent attorneys and prototyping companies joined to help the participants bringing their projects to the next level. Additionally, 30 men-tors showed up to offer their expertise to the participants.

NEW SCOPE AND BROAD PARTICIPATION

In Seattle, eyebrows were raised when the headquarters heard about the new concept, which was described as ‘un-orthodox and yet highly interesting’. So far, it is the biggest line-up in the Danish academic and innovative environment. DTU, UCPH, CBS, ITU and RUC contrib-uted with their best cases and research-ers. The entrepreneurial student organ-isations – Stardust DTU, Stardust CBS, Gate to Create and ITU Innovators –pro-moted and organ ised the event.

Thus, researchers are given the time to write thorough and well-thought-out applications for their research project. As CIEL projects, the ERAs aim at increasing and fostering new entrepreneurial research pro-jects at CBS, DTU and UCPH. The CIEL Academic Council (see page 52) selects the ERAs.

The ERA programme will be presented on the following pages with an overview of selected research projects and photos from the ERA kick-off event in January 2012. To gain in-depth insight into what an ERA can be, we have interviewed Professor Niels Kornum about his ERA on multiple stakeholders in the waste and recycling value chain.

WHY IS THERE A NEED TO CREATE THE INTERNATIONAL STARTUP DATABASE PROJECT?

Peter Lotz: “The reason is twofold. First, the three CIEL universities (DTU, CBS and UCPH) need data about their grad-uates with respect to startup activities. That knowledge is needed because the universities want to help students by giving them the right skills and tools, both in regular teaching and in co-cur-ricular activities.” “Second, research on entrepreneur-ship is constantly growing internation-ally, which is a bit odd because it lacks good data. The problem is that it is very difficult to get hold of useful data about startups because the information is so volatile. There are no really useful pub-lic registers, and surveys are often back-ward-looking, asking such questions as: “Did you want to start your own com-

“Based on recent research, we have tried to develop a com-prehensive conceptual model to guide our empirical search for the drivers of startup suc-cess. To validate our hypoth-eses empirically, we intend to link existing databases with additionally generated data, thus creating a new Interna-tional Startup Database.”

Dr. Rita Faullant Dr., Assistant Professor, Universität Klagenfurt

In a time of global financial crisis, nations are looking for a startup formula to generate income and keep them afloat. Research in the field of entrepreneurship is constantly growing, but the fundamentals – valid data – are lacking. Professor Peter Lotz tells us how the International Startup Database Project might find that data.

pany 10 years ago?” Obviously, such an-swers are not very reliable. So, research becomes shaky.”

IN WHAT WAY IS THE PROJECT NEW?

“Some useful databases do exist, how-ever. In fact, Denmark is quite unique because we have the CPR and CVR reg-isters. The information about individ-uals is very detailed (who the person’s parents are, where the person attended high school or obtained additional ed-ucation, how much the person earns, when the person has been employed, etc.). When we add information about the companies with which people have worked (which is done in the so-called IDA database hosted by Statistics Den-mark), we have data that is extremely useful for entrepreneurship research and unique in an international context. Some of the best international research on entrepreneurship is actually based on IDA data. However, the IDA database was not created for research on entrepre-neurship, and we would like to add addi-tional information to make it even more interesting. The purpose is to find the right way to obtain and integrate data to create the best research infrastructure. For exam-ple, all universities have data on their students: their grades upon enrolment, their grades at university, from studies

abroad, and specific courses as well as dates when courses were completed. This data could potentially be integrat-ed into the IDA Database and provide a basis for reliable in-depth research.”

WHAT’S GOING ON NOW?

“The International Startup Database is still very much an ongoing project. Ini-tially, a PhD student mapped the exist-ing research and suggested internation-al collaborators. Recently, Søren Salomo from DTU and the researcher Rita Faul-lant from Austria have worked with a new approach by asking very funda-mental questions: what kinds of data do we need and what exactly do we need it for. Based on these experiences, we are working on finding the right ‘formula’ for expanding data from registers with a long-term perspective. This is a long-term project, reaching far beyond the scope of CIEL, with the purpose of creat-ing a better research infrastructure and designing better study programmes with more solid research results to guide universities through which gov-ernments may promote successful en-trepreneurship.” —

“The entrepreneurship data-base project provides universi-ties with a unique opportunity to obtain valid insight into the factors that drive the success of startups. We intend to cre-ate a research infrastructure that will make startup-related data available to researchers, establishing unique conditions for understanding what really accounts for successful start-ups.”

Søren Salomo Professor, Head of Department, DTU

A SUCCESSFUL STARTUP

International research shows that two factors are crucial for a successful startup: 1. A high level of education 2. Business experience.

Furthermore, if that experience comes from the same area of business as the startup – and the person is familiar with the region where the startup is based, the startup is more likely to succeed. - Peter Lotz

Ciel Annual Report 2012P.50 RESEARCH

In a constantly growing world – with new middle classes emerging in ris-ing economies, resources are becom-ing scarce. Food needs to be produced, distributed and recycled in new ways to reduce food and resource waste. An ERA project sets out to examine the whole complex value chain, so resourc-es are not lost in the transformation. We met Niels Kornum, Associate professor at CBS, to find out about this gigantic ERA and why a cross-disci-plinary team is necessary to solve the problem. Kornum sketches this outline of the current state of affairs: “Today, we have a food system con-sisting of suppliers and retailers who take care of providing and distributing food. We also have a waste manage-ment sector to make sure that garbage is collected and processed. But plastic from food packaging in municipal solid waste has been rising for a number of years and the percentage of recycling of municipal waste in Denmark is sig-nificantly lower than, for instance, in Germany. In the future, we need to re-use and recirculate as much as possible. It ’s not just a matter of technological systems – we have to collaborate with many different stakeholders to obtain the right solutions.

Ciel Annual Report 2012 P.51RESEARCH

A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Thinking ahead, we need a system that is designed for a circular economy point-ing to more recycling and other sustain-able methods. We have to consider the entire value chain as one system. The fact of the matter is that, when you cre-ate solutions in one area, problems can easily arise in another. Therefore, sever-al disciplines need to be included if we should have a chance to propose solu-tions that both the food sector and soci-ety can use.

GOOD INTENTIONS RESULTING IN BAD OUTCOMES

Niels Kornum goes on to give some ex-amples of the complexities: “We could easily agree on the potential in cutting back on food packaging, but that could result in less secure protection of the product and more food would be wasted, which research tells us is not a sustaina-ble solution. Most people also applaud the idea of recycling (e.g., reusing more bottles). However, this would probably require more transportation. But still: the result in sustainability terms for the entire system may be positive. Obvi-ously, there are many factors that play a part, and we need to look at how these factors interplay for the entire food and waste system.”

THREE RESEARCH INGREDIENTS

Niels Kornum identifies three essential aspects to the project’s vision: “First, the world needs us to work in a multi-disci-plined way. If the problem is to be dealt with, there must be a collaboration with experts in different areas. We collabo-rate with different business partners (e.g.,Coop). These partners provide in-spiring cases and data, specific expertise and potential solutions, and they partic-ipate in discussions. They have practical experience that we can draw on. Second, we will construct a dialogue structure in which we can enter into a di-alogue with businesses, consumers and society in the broad sense. Among oth-er things, we plan to create an open idea forum, where enthusiastic souls can dis-cuss problem areas. With this dialogue part, we hope to foster public debate in

parallel with the ongoing research and development in the project. Third, there is a close connection between teaching and research. We are working on an elective course to be part of the EEP Green Innovation in Cities. Here, we will bring in some elements of our research and use a case from Super

Brugsen (Coop) to illustrate interactions with the municipal waste system. The students will be analyzing this case and these analyses will be designed to sup-port future research. You might call it ‘teaching based research’.”—

MEASURING AMINDSET

Does the mindset actually change dur-ing a course in which the didactic ap-proach is oriented toward innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E)? Through DAMVAD consultancy, CIEL measures how entrepreneurship education in-f luences the entrepreneurial mindset among students, both before and after entering the specific entrepreneurial course. The purpose of the evaluation is to develop a new and innovative design to measure the impact of I&E education.

DATA AND IMPACT

The impact measurement is based on existing data from the Danish Founda-tion for Entrepreneurship – Young Enter-prise. Furthermore, other relevant stud-ies and theories are included to develop a tool designed especially to capture the development of a mindset among stu-dents participating in CIEL’s Entrepre-neurship Excellence Programmes (EEP). In short, the impact of I&E education in this investigation may be identified as the difference in outcome for students

who participated in the EEP courses mi-nus the estimation of the outcome that would have been achieved for the same students without the intervention. In the long term, we are able to track stu-dents, follow their career paths, and compare them to those who did not par-ticipate in I&E education. A central theory behind CIEL’s meas-urement is Kåre Moberg’s survey instru-ment (Moberg 2011), which builds on the concept of entrepreneurial self-effica-cy. Self-efficacy is the student’s own idea of his or her ability to act entrepreneur-ially. This is a better measure than en-trepreneurial behaviour, which is rather difficult to observe due to the lack of in-formation about the gap between gradu-ation and startup activity. —

In order to measure how entrepreneurial education affects students, CIEL evaluates students by using a questionnaire designed especially to measure their self-efficacy in relation to I&E for students from various disciplines.

CIEL CONTACT: Stine Hamburger

TWO-STEP MEASUREMENT

The counterfactual situation in the evaluation is measured in two different ways:1) A before and after measurement of the

students participating in the EEP courses.2) A matched control group of students who

did not participate in the EEP courses (but who were just as likely to participate).

ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION March 15th 2013, CIEL will host a conference in Green Lighthouse on next practices in entrepre-neurship education. Participants will be working with a number of generic challenges that we are facing in developing entrepreneurship edu-cation, including how to measure the progres-sion of entrepreneurial competencies though education and examination. The conference is organised in collaboration with the Danish Fund for Entrepreneurship and Aarhus University.
